'Black international business': Critical issues and ethical dilemmas
No full textIn this chapter, we explore the 'darker' faces of international business (IB). Over a decade ago, Eden and Len way (2001) raised the need for examining both the 'bright' and the 'dark' side of globalization in order to achieve a better understanding of the concept and of its impact on IB activities. In doing this, they posited the multinational enterprise (MNE) as the 'key agent' and 'f.1ee' of globalization and discussed, primarily, the relationship between MNEs and nation-states as the central interf.1ce of its impact. Additionally, they posited that, by and large, the community of IB scholars positioned themselves at the bright end of the globalization spectrum, seeing it as essentially positive, whilst most non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international\ud
political economy (IPE) academics set themselves at the dark end. Whilst they acknowledged their own 'bright side' tendencies, they called for a more nuanced consideration of MNEs as what they referred to as the Janus bee' of globalization

Editors’ Picks:Feminism and Organization
No full textOrganization has offered a welcome home for feminist thought and writing over the past quarter century, rendering the choice of papers for this Editors’ Picks on Feminism and Organization a difficult one. We read, reflected, discussed, paused and repeated this process. Selecting papers for inclusion reveals an academic bias for what ‘should’ be included, what we would ‘like’ to include, what debates ‘need’ to be revisited, and what papers ‘open’ up future discussion. Throughout the selection process, we acknowledged our biases and it is worth reflecting on that the three of us have talked, worked and published together. We came together for this project through connections to Wales, Alison and Nancy were born there, Sheena, Nancy and Alison had all lived there, and we had all worked together supervising and examining research students at Welsh universities

Crawling from the wreckage
No full textIntroductory paragraph: This Special Issue emerged from an ephemera workshop questioning how critique continues to have a role in contemporary business schools. Hosted by the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, in February 2020 and organized by Peter Fleming and Alison Pullen, the workshop brought together interdisciplinary academics, some working in business schools, to ask whether and how critique would enable ‘us’ to crawl out of the wreckage caused by neoliberalism and the increased marketisation of universities and business schools. Only a month before the event, a series of severe bushfires raged across New South Wales, spread by strong winds and heat. The bushfires were large in scale and devastating in consequence. Nature reserves, forests and the homes of people and animals went up in flames, leaving long stretches of ashes as reminders of nature’s might. These fires came in the wake of floods that left rural communities decimated, and a mere few weeks after the fires were extinguished, heavy rain pummeled the state again. River banks burst, roads flooded, dams and bridges collapsed, and more homes were destroyed. Soon after, the Covid-19 virus struck, proliferating around the globe. Sickness and chaos reigned, healthcare systems came under extreme pressure, and societies had to shut down. The vulnerability of humans and non-humans became felt as we started living in ‘pandemic times’.</p
Managing difference in feminized work: Men, otherness and social practice
No full textThe paper presents a qualitative study of men who do traditionally female dominated and feminized work (specifically nursing and primary school teaching). Men are often seen as not only a minority to women in these contexts, but also their Other. The paper explores the processes of doing gender as a social and discursive practice, highlighting the necessity to manage difference and the processual, emergent, dynamic, partial, and fragmented nature of gendered identities. We show some of the complex ways in which men manage difference and how they transcend Otherness by doing masculinity and appropriating femininity so that masculinity is partially subverted and partly maintained. This analysis not only relies on the doing of gender through the doing of difference but also surfaces the undoing of gender and difference to disrupt gender norms and practices in work organizations
Forgetting to remember: Maria Ossowska, the giant on whose shoulders I stand
No full textIn his book On the Shoulders of Giants , Robert Merton (1965/1985) declared that although a received picture of progress in science consists of that idea (attributed to Isaac Newton), in (historical) reality, it is the appointed giants who stand on a pyramid of midgets. In this chapter, the author suggests yet another possibility: that of a midget (myself), who believes to be standing alone, not on the top, but at least in a place with a view, and suddenly discovers that she was, in fact, all the time standing on somebody's shoulders. The biography of Maria Ossowska has been presented in several variations (even the alleged day of her birth varies), most likely due to Ossowska's various clashes with authorities that might have led to falsification or loss of documents. During World War II, the Ossowscy organized underground education in Warsaw and helped to hide people in danger of persecution
